Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Include joints in routine washroom inspections
- Brief cleaning staff to treat joints gently
- Tell us about infection-control or permit rules before we quote
- Clear standing water from shower floors where possible
Ventilation is half the battle. A room that stays damp will grow mould on almost anything, so get faulty extract looked at.
Inspectors look at whether kitchen surfaces can be kept clean. Failed sealant around sinks and worktops is easy to put right in good time.

Why act early in Hamister
Sealing on top of old silicone saves nothing. Silicone won’t grip silicone, so it lifts and holds moisture underneath. Full removal and proper cleaning is what makes the new joint last. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Hamister before they leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Access and working height
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For a building near Hamister, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We agree which washrooms close and when.
- Anything behind the joints that needs another trade is flagged.
- Failed sealant and residue are stripped out.
- The right sanitary or food-safe sealant is applied.
- We confirm reopening times for each washroom.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Hamister: questions and answers
Is Hamister inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. We work across every Scottish council area, and that includes island locations such as Hamister. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Which documents can you supply for work in Hamister?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a few hours for one toilet block, with bigger buildings phased across a number of visits. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What sealant do you use in washrooms?
It depends on the joint. Washrooms and showers take anti-mould sanitary silicone while kitchens may need a food-safe grade.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can washrooms stay open while you work?
Just the room being resealed is out of use. Rooms go back into use once the sealant has cured, then we move on.
Common problems we fix in Hamister
A lot of failed washroom sealant was laid over an old bead or a dirty surface. New silicone won’t grip the old, so it soon lets go.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Sealant lifting along a tray edge
- Failed sealant behind washroom basins
- Discoloured joints around urinals and WC pans
- Stained or open joints at kitchen sinks and worktops
Around Hamister, washroom joints are resealed by removing the old silicone completely and laying anti-mould sanitary silicone on dry surfaces.

Washroom sealing in Hamister: the local picture

Heavy seasonal use is hard on shower and basin sealant, so resealing in the quieter months keeps rooms ready. For an island location such as Hamister, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. Knowing how many washrooms there are lets us plan the days on the island.
For buildings around Hamister, washrooms can be done in phases so some facilities are always open.
